Englebert and Jedward are going to be in the top 10. :tongue:

Jedward more than likely any-way, they have a firm backing around Europe after last year, we'll give them a 12 like last year and their song is actually good.

What are you posting monkeys for

I sure we will be top 3 or 5 alongside jedward EH will be massive for us

i was looking for bob geldof but couldnt find one.

Jesus christ. He'll be dead by the time all the scores are in.

Engelbert Humperdinck will win easy :amazed:

Folk group the "Buranovo Grannies" will compete in the Eurovision Song Contest, after winning a televised contest in Moscow to represent Russia.

The six grandmothers beat 24 other acts - including a duet between 2008 winner Dima Bilan and Tatu's Yulia Volkova - with song Party For Everybody.

Buranovskiye Babushki, from the Udmurt Republic, say they will use any cash raised to build a church in Buranovo.

"Grandmothers do not need glory and wealth," a member told Vesti news.

The singer, named only as "Grandmother Olga", said building the village church was their "only goal".

Their winning song, which begins as a traditional folk tune before a modern dance beat kicks in, features the refrain, "party for everybody, come on and dance".

The lyrics to the song, which feature a mixture of English and Udmurt - a language related to Finnish - were written by the grandmothers.
Engelbert Humperdinck Engelbert Humperdinck, 75, will represent the UK in this year's contest

Buranovskiye Babushki became known in Russia with covers - sung in Udmurt - of classics including the Beatles' Yesterday and the Eagles' Hotel California.

In 2010, they came third in the Russian Eurovision qualifying contest with their song Dlinnaya-dlinnaya beresta i kak sdelat' iz neyo aishon, which translates as "long, long birch bark and how to make a hat of it".

The UK will also be represented by a pensioner at the 57th Eurovision Song Contest in Baku, Azerbaijan when 75-year-old singer Engelbert Humperdinck will perform the British entry.

The Russian singers will take part in the first qualifying heat on 22 May. The Eurovision Song Contest takes place on 26 May.

Meanwhile, Eurovision organisers have announced that Armenia had pulled out amid tension with old rival Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijani and Armenian forces fought a war over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh in the 1990s which left at least 25,000 people dead.

A ceasefire was signed in 1994 but no permanent peace deal has been reached.

winners.

:laugh2:

I know :lovedup:

I hope they win. The song's catchy and they're going to stand out, so I think it's possible.

I don't like this recent trend of knowing what people are going to perform, I like the surprise on the night :(

This is shaping up to be a really good and varied Eurovision this year.Really looking forward to it.

Misheard lyrics :

"Down in your breasts I cack sedately as now you're ageing"

:eek:

Whoop! for eastern europeans older ladies, that is amazing!!! i love it! screw hump, i want them to win :D

I'm not sure how I feel about Russia's entry.

Trying to steal Engelbert's limelight

On second listen, I hate it. It's average at best, and will stall outside the top three, possibly even outside the top five.

I bet those women get paid in vodka.

not sure if you're serious ben
